Neil deGrasse Tyson
“True science literacy is less about what you know and more about how your brain is wired for asking questions.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Letters from an Astrophysicist

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“There’s nothing like the right telescope in the right hands of the right person at the right time for the right price.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Letters From An Astrophysicist

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The theory of evolution is not something to “believe in.” Science follows evidence. And when strong evidence supports an idea, the concept of belief, when invoked the way religious people use the word, is unnecessary. In other words, established science is not an ensemble of beliefs, it’s a system of ideas supported by verifiable evidence.

You did not ask if I believe in the sunrise. Or if I believe the sky is blue. Or if I believe Earth has a Moon. These are non-controversial truths about the physical world for which the word “believe” has no place. Evolution by natural selection is a non-controversial tenet of modern biology. It’s not controversial among biologists, that is. Among religious fundamentalists, biological evolution does not square with their faith-based belief system, in which they invoke the Bible as an inerrant understanding of the physical world.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Letters From An Astrophysicist

Carl Sagan
“I find many adults are put off when young children pose scientific questions. Why is the Moon round? the children ask. Why is grass green? What is a dream? How deep can you dig a hole? When is the world’s birthday? Why do we have toes? Too many teachers and parents answer with irritation or ridicule, or quickly move on to something else: ‘What did you expect the Moon to be, square?’ Children soon recognize that somehow this kind of question annoys the grown-ups. A few more experiences like it, and another child has been lost to science. Why adults should pretend to omniscience before 6-year-olds, I can’t for the life of me understand. What’s wrong with admitting that we don’t know something? Is our self-esteem so fragile?”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
